Sorry for the possible spoiler in the thread title. I saw Days of Future Past and was totally taken by the Cyclops Radarlock shades. I decided to work on some replicas for myself. Just a warning - this is a totally personal project, and I am NOT selling anything that I make, so please do not ask. I won't respond to those requests.

Anyway, here's my first step in the process. A Radarlock frame, Edge-shaped lens. I know the Cyclops lenses were even further shaved down, making them a little shorter near the nosebombs. But I have a larger face than James Marsden, so I can't reasonably wear such small lenses.

Next, I designed and printed some custom white decals, based on the images from Oakley. I think they might still need a little work, but they're close. I pasted them on some custom Edge lenses. I still need to work on the lens color, and the lower "mandible" parts, but I'm getting closer to the goal. Thanks for looking!!

And obviously I need to change those icons into some darker gold or silver ones. Still not totally sure based on the images Oakley provided.

Thanks, Oak! Surprisingly, they don't hinder visibility as much as I thought they would. The vertical member is the most noticeable one, but it isn't that bad.

The lens is just black iridium. I used a little trickery to make it red. I'm hoping to get custom lenses made, with red plastic and a backside mirror. I believe that's how the movie lenses were done.

Trickery? How? Photoshop?
